So glad you guys did a podcast on Healer!!! THANK YOU! Love the ending track lol... as cheesy as it is, I can't help but sing along whenever it goes on!

And I will forever thank you, JB, for introducing me to Healer.

Originally I didn't pay attention to it, but JB's pic recaps caught my attention and slowly I became a shy recap reader. From time to time I would read the recaps, mostly to kill the time, but still I hadn't got the will to watch the show. Then, suddenly I found myself WAITING for the recaps. Yet, still.. I hadn't watched them. When the recap of ep 8 came out, I started to download the ep RAW just to end my curiosity. The same goes with ep 12. Ep 14 hit me in the face and I spent two days downloading everything and spending all my internet quota (and bought some more) and marathoning the eps. Ep 15 I was officially sold, watching it streaming, then downloading the RAW, waiting for the subs, and reading the recaps. My life was never the same again. I remembered those days I was actually in not-so-good financial condition. But I'd rather cut my meal cost and spent most of my money to buy a top-up for my internet. Hahahhahah!!!!!! I was totally crazy, right??

I'm not crying, there's just water in my eyes.

This podcast has gotten me all sentimental again. When Eternal Love played at the end, I was a goner. I still don't want to let Healer go. :(

It was great hearing you two pile on the love for SJN. I love not only her writing but also her as a person. She seems so humble, modest and really knows what she wants. Her philosophy in life and when it comes to her dramas are something to appreciate. Love boldly, and protect what you love. However, my heart always hurts when I read her Q&A etc, because of how self-deprecating she is. She takes on a lot of the burden and blame for her dramas when they don't do well ratings wise, even though her dramas tend to be of great quality. I hope she realizes how much love she's getting internationally for Healer. Someone needs to send her this podcast :D

I LOL-ed when you all brought up the reactions of the Korean viewers. It's amazing how similar they were to ours. "I'll just watch Healer harder!" because seriously, what is wrong with the ratings system? :P

Yoo Ji Tae was of course fantastic in this role along with Park Sang Won. Loved them both. Well, I just loved the cast in general.

And then there was JCW and PMY, whose acting was great and their chemistry was off the charts. Really agreed with what you all said about PMY making Young Shin her own. First time I really liked her in a drama. As for JCW, I really wished there was more focus on him in this podcast (I'm biased), but you can't win them all, right? XD

The OTP in this drama was perfection. <3 <3 <3 My heart still breaks for Bong Sookie and his rejection as well! But I also loved the way that YS rejected BS which showed that it wasn't that she didn't like him, just that she didn't have room in her heart. That's quite the mature and considerate rejection. But I'm thankful that we did eventually see that she loved JH, BS and Healer. :D

Jung Hoo totally encompassed all of his personas. His awkwardness and fear of social interaction, especially with papa Chae, was so adorable but so heart-breaking. I still can't get over how alone and abandoned he was before meeting YS....

I could have also done with 5 or 10 more minutes of Healer (who am I kidding, I could have done with 20 more episodes, and this is something that I rarely ever say about a drama!) but what we were given on a live shoot schedule was pretty darn perfect. And that ending scene, swoooooon.

What?!? Jong Soo is younger than me? Crazy. He was really good in this though. Someone, give him a drama!

Now, I'm being greedy, but I wished we had more of the discussion actually focused on Healer and the characters and the plot developments. But that's the effects of two bottles of soju and makgulli, :P and I guess 20 episode recaps & discussion should suffice.Okay, now I'm just rambling...

It was awesome listening to you gals, reliving the wonderful experience of the Healer. THANK YOU!!

Wooo hooo! Healer deserves its own edition!

When they said its time to let go, saying "yes" took a while to come out. And yes and epilogue would have been great, kids running, a fish bowl with goldfish and hearing a barking dog.

Its so true about the Healer community even if there are obviously trolls around we didn't bother to pay attention and let that troll spoil the fun. Another thing that is so true is that Healer made my addiction liking to Kdramas to stay strong.

I raise and toast my gone cold bitter coffee with your soju and makgeolli!

Million thanks JB & GF! Now I have something to play over and over again. Off to listen after downloading it. ❤️

This was FUN and I totally agreed on the analysis--this was Ji Chang Wook's vehicle to stardom! I also appreciated Yoo Ji Tae's contribution to the show and how he played it out. Ajumma was one of my favorite characters of all time--glad she got the mention! Thanks for helping to tie up loose ends and ease us out of our Healer addiction. Now to marathon it! :D

Thanks JB and GF. "Bong Sookie is not an act, he is real"
"Healer pushed all my buttons." Love the discussion of the melding of the two personnas. If there can be a second season of Let's Eat and maybe Misaeng, I had wanted another Healer season... but after you pointed out that Jung Hoo didn't like the cold Healer life, that he finally learned to be part of the world, to love and protect that love... then I guess I have to give that thought up.

Thanks for everything.

Done listening. Ironically though, podcast ended with Eternal Love's "And I won't let go.." Letting go is really really hard to do. :(
Words that stick to mind after listening to the podcast are: Healer, Magic, Respecful & Crazy(Healer fans), Bosoms. :D

I am one of those who became Yoo Ji-tae's fan after seeing him in Healer. I have watched Old Boy last year but I never paid attention to him or his character. My focus then was only on ahjussi Choi Min-shik.

Thanks again JB & GF! ❤️

Wow this is what dreams are made of! Healer was so great that it deserves all the attention and praise it's getting. Couldn't dare dream of a podcast specially dedicated to my fav drama! Thank you JB and GF. ?
But I am dying here that I can't listen to it yet, if I'd known you guys made this podcast today I would've called in sick...RL can wait!
In the mean time I'm enjoying reading the comments section!

I will remember Healer as the drama which had the most beautiful (to eyes and character-wise) young couple to date. -And that is quite a compliment because I have watched endless number of dramas.

Thank you JB and GF, you guys are so cool! I loved your drunk podcast and I did pour myself a glass of wine and giggled, laughed, cried, 'Yes!' all the way through. It was so much fun and although there is need for closure, it's so sad to think of no more Healer. Thank you also to the Healer fandom here on dramabeans, who made the experience that much more special :)

Thank you thank you JV and GF for this podcast! I enjoyed it to the fullest! You guys are healerious!

Cheers to you! Cheers to all Healer Fans!

It's actually my 2nd time listening to your podcasts, and I'm not a fervent commenter also, but I really needed it to have closure (as you said), and to know I'm not the only one squeeing and laughing when talking about Healer (in RL, I don't really have someone to whom I can tell my love for this show ^^').
Anyway, THANK YOU JB and GF for everything you do on this site, and for being as in love with this show as I am :)

And WTF ? Jong Soo is 19 ??? But... I'm 23 and he looks like he's older than me by YEARS ! xD

can't wait for JB & GF to update the ratings of Healer on Drama Ratings. it has been almost a week, but yeahhh. I'm still wondering here and there to watch the latest KDramas, but end up rewatching Healer for thousand times !! I just cannot.. and not yet ready to let this show go... :( thank you JB & GF for this podcast.. now adding this to my Healer folder !! :D

Everyoooone! Apologies for being MIA for the last couple of days. Schoolwork caught up with me and yada yada let's not go to that. LOLOL.

Well THAT, and I just finished with my Healer marathon with a friend. Hahahaha she's such a JCW fangirl right now, she wouldn't stop squealing every time he appeared on the screen. Every single time. I kid you not.

Btw this is the 3rd try of posting this comment. For some reason it won't show up.

Omg JB and GF, I had so much fun and laugh so hard that I cried a river!!! I Love your postcads but this one is special to me because I fell in love with this show in the same absurd way of squeeing all the way through the drama!
